title: [Effect of nitroglycerin treatment on left ventricular contractile function in the acute period of myocardial infarct].
abstract: The effect of intravenously injected nitroglycerin on the left ventricular contractile function was studied in 17 patients during the first day of transmural myocardial infarction using uni- and two-dimensional ultrasound technique. The data obtained demonstrated a positive time course of some of the main characteristics of the left ventricular contractile function: a decreased end-diastolic and end-systolic left ventricular volume, and an increased ejection fraction. The local contractile function of injured and intact segments of the myocardium increased only in a few of cases observed.
